Association Between Serum Ferritin and Red Cell Indices for Identifying Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Children Under Five Years: A Cross-Sectional Study
Serum ferritin concentrations were significantly associated with several red cell indices, particularly MCH and MCV, while RDW-CV demonstrated the greatest ability to distinguish children with IDA from those with normal ferritin levels, and routine CBC parameters, especially RDW-CV, MCH, and MCV, may serve as practical...
